Forward Controls Design CSF

The Forward Controls Design CSF (Carbine Sling, Forward Controls) has all of the usual attention to detail you expect from a Forward Controls product. It’s simple in function and construction.

As usual, they have provided a lot of information on the background of this sling. Forward Controls states:

When creating the CSF, we follow our established project development procedures: define the objectives, develop means to achieve them, early proof of concept prototypes, and weeks and months of tweaking and refinement before it becomes a shipping product.

CSF isn’t modeled after or based on any particular sling, though one may say Vickers comes close.  We defined the areas we deemed important and honed in on these.  There are only so many ways to make a 2 point adjustable sling, CSF isn’t meant to be ground breaking, it is designed to be a hard use sling that is easy and intuitive to operate.  As shooters ourselves, we’re no strangers to slings and using them, we have experimented with quite a few throughout the years, including the much maligned single point nut busters, which eventually turned into leashes for our Poodle mix, Charlie.

And…

CSF is released on a scheduled basis, as each is painstakingly hand made.  From cutting the webbing, sewing with our vintage Bernina sewing machine to final assembly and QC, CSF isn’t the fastest and easiest product we have, quite the contrary really.  CSF won’t compete with well established slings, nor is it our intention to, it’s something we make for our friends and customers because of the persistent sling shortage, with features we like as shooters.

Proudly designed and made in the USA.

Forward Controls Design ATA – Adjustable Turret Cap for Aimpoint H1/T1 and H2/T2

This is probably the coolest thing you will see all day unless you are reading this while your wife is in labor. Forward Controls Design has developed a new cap for the windage and elevation knobs on Aimpoint H1/T1 and H2/T2 optics that does not have to be removed in order to adjust the optic!

The new ATA (Adjustable Turret cap for Aimpoint Micro T1/T2) ensure that you will never lose your caps or an o-ring again, both of which have happened to me. With the ATA installed on your Aimpoint Micro, you never need to remove them. You can just use a small flat blade screw driver or an improvised tool to dial your adjustments on the inner disc which can turn inside the outer cap.

Both the outer cap and inner disc are machined from 17-4 stainless steel. They come in a set of 2 caps which are marked individually for the elevation and windage turret. The caps are available in multiple finish options. The buyer can choose between a black QPQ finish or polished stainless for the outer part of the cap. The inner disc finish options include black QPQ, polished stainless, or bead blasted stainless.

Sneak Peek: Forward Controls Design ESF

Forward Controls Design gave us a sneak peek of their ESF (End plate, Sling adapter, Forward Controls Design). This prototype version is machined from 7075 aluminum but the production material has not been decided so it could change. The ESF is stakable. It supports the castle nut and provides 3 QD sling swivel sockets (one of each side and one on the back).

Stay tuned for final details.
